[03:49:55] <AzumaHazuki> Holy fuck did I ever get under KT's skin. Look at the piles of AC posts on that thread
[04:24:40] <pinchy> get em zuki
[04:25:21] <AzumaHazuki> i didn't even need to. the poor bastard self-destructed almost instantly
[04:25:54] <AzumaHazuki> there is somthing mentally wrong with this guy. i can't put it into words well, but he seems to be...um, not entirely there. Schizoaffective?

[04:44:01] <AzumaHazuki> KT has a very distinctive posting style, so it's easy to tell when it's him. look for slightly odd/stilted diction or sentence structure, weird overuse of "guilty" or "innocent," the phrase "benefit of the doubt," and overall a very nervous, caffeinated, and slightly otherworldly tone
[04:49:01] <pinchy> pages and pages of blah blah blah

[08:12:12] <chromas> is it more betterer?
[08:12:50] <FatPhil> not perfect, but works in palemoon
[08:13:19] * chromas should install palemoon on this box
[08:13:23] <FatPhil> It's you who should be telling me about the chromas, surely?
[08:13:33] <chromas> huehuehue
[08:13:42] <FatPhil> I wouldn't bother. I've pinned mine at 27.x, as they made it shit
[08:13:49] * chromas saturates
[08:13:54] <chromas> aw
[08:14:25] <chromas> I'm running wayland on this lap. it's not so bad anymore, except for some programs have the touchpad scroll direction backward
[08:14:50] <FatPhil> tablet-mode dragging?
[08:14:58] <chromas> and pidgin's tray icon is invisible in the top-left corner, but that happens on X sometimes too
[08:15:01] <chromas> yeah
[08:15:31] <chromas> but only some programs. if I turn on the option in kde settings then most programs have the scrolling inverted, and the ones that invert now don't
[08:15:47] <FatPhil> those of us who were studying GUI design back in the early 90s could have warned these youngsters about that issue.
[08:16:01] <FatPhil> But we didn't, because we wanted to see them embarass themselves.
[08:16:10] <chromas> inverted scrolling or pidgin's tray icon?
[08:16:23] <chromas> or wayland?

[08:18:18] <chromas> the other thing about kde wayland is the mouse cursor is extra large for some reason
[08:18:20] <FatPhil> inverted scrolling.
[08:20:33] <FatPhil> people confused interacting with a control and interacting with a document without even realising there exists such a distinction.
[08:21:28] <chromas> I like sliding down because I'm scrolling down the document, instead of dragging the document up.
[08:21:36] <chromas> My opinion, of course, is the correct one.
[08:21:40] <FatPhil> Back in the early 90s, even scrollbars didn't act consistently.
[08:22:02] <chromas> They still don't
[08:22:12] <FatPhil> yours was the massive majority for decades until the world went all swipy.
[08:22:34] <chromas> Sometimes in Firefox, clicking the empty space makes the scroll pointer jump to that spot, while other times it scrolls one screenful
[08:22:43] <FatPhil> good point
[08:22:51] <FatPhil> that really pisses me off.
[08:22:58] <FatPhil> I rarely use firefox.
[08:23:21] <chromas> Does palemoon do that?
[08:23:27] <FatPhil> And as always, the newer behavior is the retardeder one.
[08:23:45] <FatPhil> palemoon pages,
[08:23:46] <chromas> Sorta seems like I read it had something to do with GTK
[08:23:57] <chromas> Since, even though technically firefox isn't a GTK program, it actually is
[08:24:45] <FatPhil> back in the days before people with one-button brains took over, good old fashioned X interfaces would use a different button to jump rather than page down.
[08:24:59] <chromas> oh yeah
[08:25:06] <chromas> Speaking of different button
[08:25:17] <chromas> Wayland doesn't support middle-click paste
[08:25:19] <FatPhil> Still works that way in palemoon - middle button jumps.
[08:25:46] <chromas> Guhnome has a hack to enable it. For once, they're ahead of kde on something
[08:26:07] <FatPhil> fuck me, that's terrible. that's a feature I use a hundred times daily, probably more.
[08:26:36] <FatPhil> more often than scrollbards probably!
[08:27:05] <chromas> It's too bad X12 didn't take off
[08:27:14] <FatPhil> oooh, just invented a new feature - scrollbards - not sure what they do yet. Probably something like CLippy.
[08:27:42] <chromas> It looks like you're getting pissed off. Can I set your font to Comic Sans MS?
[08:29:53] <chromas> Looks like the aur has a speshul Palemoon 26 package

[20:02:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> chromas: it's one of those things where there's multiple "correct" spellings (as much as English EVER has correct spellings, since there's no central authority on what is correct for English).
[20:04:55] <chromas> Ænliß
[20:05:07] <chromas> Oh I dropped my g
[20:05:21] <chromas> Ænglyß
[20:06:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> you could just use a ŋ
[20:07:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> then you wouldn't need a g.
[20:08:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'm still kinda pissed that the thorn and edh letters got dropped from English
[20:08:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> And I probably found out about that a decade ago.
[20:11:36] <FatPhil> oooh, case #2 in estonia...
[20:15:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> Three cases so far in Florida, though I expect we'll see a lot more. Two of them quite local, too.
[20:31:37] <FatPhil> Crossing fingers for you. 1 of our cases is here in town, but he got himself quarantined immediately after he got off the bus, and I think they've tested all the other passengers negatively (yes, I know...). 2nd case hasn't been put on the map yet, but >1/3 of the country lives here or in satelite towns, so it wouldn't be a surprise if it was also local.
[20:32:33] <FatPhil> we do know that the 2nd case drove from Latvia here, so ublic transport vectoring was fortunately not an issue.
[20:34:15] <FatPhil> A French television channel apologised to Italy on Tuesday for airing a mock advert for “corona pizza” in which a coughing chef hacks green phlegm onto Italy’s national dish.
[20:57:04] <chromas> Does the gubbermint just go around testing random people or something?
[21:01:34] <FatPhil> Have a watch of Chris Martenson's vid today, he makes a few comments on the US approach.
